Capital gains tax calculator Rwanda
When you sell or transfer shares or similar assets for more than you paid, the gain is taxed at 10%. Enter the price you sold at and what you paid.
How it's calculated
- Capital gain: sale price less what you paid for the asset.
- Tax: 10% of the gain. A loss gives no tax.
